Preview / The Case For Open Borders / John Washington

Author and journalist John Washington returns to the podcast to discuss the case for open borders. He places the current political rhetoric and policy fixated on the "border crisis" many Western nations are facing, particularly the United States, within the historical and material context of what the modern nation-state actually is. Stripping down the hyperbolic and nativist language exemplified across political parties, John makes clear what borders really are, and the violent realities this ever expanding infrastructure imposes on human and non-human life. John is the author of The Case for Open Borders, published this year through Haymarket books. Support the work and listen to the full interview: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness
